Green-Wood Cemetery vandalized, damage $100,000
Dozens of tombstones and memorials have been vandalized at a Brooklyn’s historic Green-Wood Cemetery where celebrities are buried, causing $100,000 in damage.
Groundskeepers on Tuesday discovered 51 damaged and toppled plaques and statues scattered throughout the cemetery, which opened in 1838.
Green-Wood Cemetery president Richard Moylan told the Daily News that most of the damaged monuments date to the 1800s. Green-Wood is asking for the public’s help to pay for repairs.
